i included the 2nd link for the comments section. it's hard to know what to say. these people....they seem almost inhuman. many are actually applauding the letter, stating that she is getting what she deserves. many also claim that it must be Atheists sending the hate mail b/c a true Christian would never do that. it's....surreal. and frightening that our fellow man/woman could think like this.

"I just mentioned on another thread where somebody posted this letter, that after learning a lot about the process about threats i've gotten, reposting them is probably the worst thing to do. I was told by the cops and lawyers that it could undermine any case as it could be seen as engaging. Besides that, the person that wrote this letter is probably getting off on the fact that it's being reposted."

If you think about, it's quite amazing. The "christians" in America who pass laws (Oklahoma) to ban Sharia law here in the US, don't really disagree with Sharia law. They just want the christian version of it. Richard, you're absolutely correct. The brave Ms. Ahlquist (and I use the term "brave" as a US Army Viet Nam era veteran who has seen some fucking bravery in my life) is not playing the "victim" card. She is doing the right thing which is what should be expected in secular society from all of us, but is all too often found wanting. She is someone standing up and facing a firestorm. Unlike the muslims and christians, who claim "persecution," she doesn't whine and snivel about it. It's amazing what an old man like me can learn from a young girl who takes her citizenship seriously.

You sound like my friend Steven, a Bonze Star recipient and veteran of the Taliban in Afghanistan as well as the Christian Taliban in King, NC. She's his "hero", and he'd rather talk about her than his own battle, he's spoken to her at length. any of the clueless attacks on her as being a "pawn" or playing victim, or out for attention couldn't be further from the truth. She's downplayed the threats, both the amount and severity.

Disgusting behavior like this is the norm at The Blaze. Anything that isn't pro-Christianity, right-wing, and conservative is instantly demonized. There are pro-secular commenters on the Blaze(including myself), but we're easily drowned out by comments that do little more than copypaste Bible quotes as a thought-stopping tactic. It's a perfect place to point to when making the point that religion makes otherwise moral and decent people say and do the most evil things possible.
